Archaeology With Foundation Year (Ba): 4-Year, Full-Time

You will learn the essential analytical techniques of archaeology to develop your understanding of the relationship between theory and practice in the interpretation of material remains. Practical archaeological experience is a key element of this degree. It will involve you learning through the resources of archives, collections and practice in the field, including alongside professionals from Museum of London Archaeology (MOLA) on the Thames through Time field school.

Graduates can pursue careers in archaeology, conservation and education. This degree may also be useful in becoming an archaeologist, heritage manager, museum/gallery curator or higher education lecturer.

Graduates from this degree have gone on to work with Historic England, the National Trust, British Museum, Museum of London, Cambridge Archaeological Unit and a host of schools and colleges. Other careers include work in UK Government Offices, publishing and journalism.

We welcome applicants without traditional entry qualifications as we base decisions on our own assessment of qualifications, knowledge and previous work experience. We may waive formal entry requirements based on judgement of academic potential.

Upon successful completion of the Foundation Year, you can automatically progress on to our three-year, full-time, evening study BA Archaeology.
